Lac La Ronge Provincial Park

Lac La Ronge Provincial Park is a nature reserve in the northern boreal zone with rolling terrain and numerous freshwater lakes surrounded by coniferous forest. The area includes many waterways ideal for paddling and fishing in a remote setting far from roads.

The park was established in 1939 as one of Saskatchewan's first efforts to protect wild land from development in Canada's boreal region. Before that, fur traders used water routes through these lands for centuries, which shaped early European presence in the north.

The land holds deep meaning for Dene and Saulteaux communities, whose hunting and fishing practices have shaped life here for generations. This living connection to Indigenous traditions remains visible in how people use and understand the place today.

The park has several campgrounds with basic facilities, some offering electrical hookups and bathrooms while others provide more rustic options. Visit from late spring through early fall when water routes are ice-free and weather allows comfortable outdoor activity.

Nistowiak Falls, Saskatchewan's highest waterfall, flows through the park along the Rapid River and is reached only by canoe or boat. This remote water access means the waterfall remains relatively quiet and feels separate from the usual tourist routes.
